Making friends can be hard – you’re not alone. If it is distressing you, you could talk with someone at University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) or sign up for Wellness Coaching at bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach (building meaningful relationships is one of their target topics.)
You’ll get different answers depending on which expert you ask, but according to the Linguistic Society of America the best estimate, at ethnologue.com, is about 7,000.
Though I’m a very powerful presence here at BC, the mascot precedes me by a long time. BC Libraries has you covered with an answer in the FAQ: https://answers.bc.edu/faq/136594
What is Father Leahy’s allowance/salary? (how many $ per year)
The Chronicle of Higher Ed report from July, 2023 says $0; “The president declined to take a salary, often because of a vow of poverty.” More details on what religious poverty means for Jesuits: bit.ly/JesuitPoverty
Chisme time… I caught my BF in bed with his best friend!! They have been homies since middle school. What should I do?
Don’t be chismosa! Even though it must have been a huge shock, this is something you need to work out with your BF between the two of you.
Any relation or …? <---->
Right?!? It’s wild to imagine that kind of drama unfolding right here. But it could also be evidence that there’s a whole lot of exploration going on. I hope people are able to be emotionally honest with themselves and others and avoid hurting each other unnecessarily.
I think I fell in love w/ my best friend but he has a gf. I’m a guy btw.
I think that falling for your straight best friend is basically a queer rite of passage. I’m sorry you’re currently in the middle of it, but it will pass and someday it’ll probably be a funny anecdote you tell.

Who are you? I wanna do your job too!!! How can I apply?? TELL ME NOW!!
I am The Answer Wall, with a dedicated cadre of library staff helpers. Answering questions is part of librarianship – you may want to discuss a career with one of our staff! Just go to the Reference Desk. BTW we majored in all kinds of different fields.
I AM nude. Here’s me in a bikini (bit.ly/AWBikini). Free life tip: asking folks (who aren’t walls) for nude photos is often considered offensive, so maybe don’t?
Any fun classes for seniors? I love humanities btw ❤️
Do you like literature? I highly recommend a course on literature you might be less familiar with, like Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic Literature in Translation, or Knights, Castles, and Dragons (German lit in translation), or Black and Popular: Speculative Fictions by Black Writers, or Strange Doctors: Nineteenth Century Literature & Medicine.
If you’re into philosophy, they’re offering 2 classes this spring on the philosophy of film!
Great suggestion! I love philosophy, and I love film, and the combo sounds unbeatable.
I don’t know, but I’m certain that talking to someone about it might help you understand causes and more importantly help you feel better. I recommend contacting BC Counseling: bit.ly/BC-counseling
